About L'échappée (Escape)
Hocine Filali is a forty-something year old taxi driver in the port city of Algiers. His day-to-day routine has him snaking through thick morning traffic, bustling boulevards, and the occasional military checkpoint. In the distance, the sound of the call to prayer mixes with the crash of ocean waves as they bring word of what life might be like elsewhere, across the ocean, in Italy.
Directed by Hamid Saïdji, Jonathan Mason, L'échappée (Escape) leans on a strong ensemble — Saïd Aït Ali Saïd, Mouni Bouallam — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2017.
